What Purina food is best for my 7-week-old Beagle puppy with diarrhea?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 20 days old | 1.4 lbs

I’m not sure what to start feeding my 7 week old Beagle. She is 1 pound and has been on wet food for the last week. I’m trying to transition her but she has had constant diarrhea. The brand of choice I prefer is Purina but I haven’t found anything for her size.

Any food that says "puppy" should be just fine. You can continue to feed wet, or you can use dry. If she prefers moist food, you could even add a little water to the dry food. All puppies that aren't large breeds can use the normal puppy food. Large breeds need different mineral percentages for their extra large bones.

I have fed all of my dogs Purina ProPlan since they were puppies. Here is a link:
